¿Quién salió con Luis XV de Francia?

Luis XV de Francia (en francés: Louis XV; Palacio de Versalles, 15 de febrero de 1710-10 de mayo de 1774), llamado el Bien Amado, fue rey de Francia y de Navarra​ entre los años 1715 y 1774. También ostentó los títulos de copríncipe de Andorra y duque de Anjou. Heredado el trono de su bisabuelo Luis XIV a la edad de cinco años, habiendo fallecido anteriormente su padre y su abuelo, pasó sus primeros años de reinado en relativa tranquilidad, rodeado de preceptores que le proveyeron una gran cultura, mientras que el poder efectivo fue entregado a varios regentes. Al alcanzar la mayoría de edad le confió el gobierno al cardenal Fleury, su antiguo preceptor. Su indiferencia política y las derrotas militares, hicieron que la popularidad del monarca descendiese bruscamente, por lo que es recordado principalmente por su contribución a la cultura y a las artes, impulsadas por su amante madame de Pompadour quien dio nombre al estilo artístico que dominó el país durante su reinado.

Su reinado de cerca de 59 años fue el segundo más largo en la historia francesa, solo superado por el de su predecesor y bisabuelo el rey Luis XIV que había gobernado durante 72 años. A diferencia de Luis XIV no tuvo contacto directo con la vida política de su país: se reunía con poca frecuencia con sus ministros y actuó en contra de sus expectativas, tramando una red de diplomáticos y espías. Su desinterés por la política y la constante sucesión de ministros que debilitaban el poder de Francia en Europa contribuyeron a sentar las bases para la Revolución francesa. Al inicio de su reinado fue amado por el pueblo, que rápidamente le apodó como el Bien Amado. Con los años, su debilidad en la toma de decisiones y la constante e intrigante presencia de sus amantes dinamitó su popularidad, produciéndose algunas celebraciones a su muerte en París. Por ello, hubo de celebrarse en secreto su funeral, para evitar que se produjeran burlas públicas ante su ataúd, como ocurrió con su predecesor.

En 1748 Luis XV, ganada la batalla de Fontenoy de 1745 devolvió los Países Bajos Austríacos. Cedió Nueva Francia en América del Norte a Gran Bretaña y España al final de la desastrosa Guerra de los Siete Años en 1763. Incorporó a Francia los territorios del Ducado de Lorena y la República de Córcega, siendo estas sus mayores ganancias territoriales durante su reinado. Los historiadores generalmente critican su reinado, citando cómo los informes de su corrupción avergonzaron a la monarquía, mientras que sus guerras agotaron la hacienda real y produjeron pocas ganancias. Su nieto y sucesor Luis XVI heredaría un reino que necesitaba una reforma financiera y política que finalmente conduciría a la Revolución Francesa de 1789.

Louise-Jeanne Tiercelin de La Colleterie (26 December 1746 – 5 July 1779), known as Madame de Bonneval, was a mistress to King Louis XV of France from 1762 to 1765. She was the king's Petite maîtresse (unofficial mistress), not his Maîtresse-en-titre (official mistress).

Marie-Anne de Mailly-Nesle, marquise de La Tournelle, duchesse de Châteauroux, née le 5 octobre 1717 à Paris, paroisse Saint-Sulpice, où elle est morte, le 8 décembre 1744, est une favorite de Louis XV.

Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, Marquise de Pompadour (, French: [pɔ̃paduʁ] ; 29 December 1721 – 15 April 1764), commonly known as Madame de Pompadour, was a member of the French court. She was the official chief mistress of King Louis XV from 1745 to 1751, and remained influential as court favourite until her death.

Pompadour took charge of the king's schedule and was a valued aide and advisor, despite her frail health and many political enemies. She secured titles of nobility for herself and her relatives, and built a network of clients and supporters. She was particularly careful not to alienate the popular Queen, Marie Leszczyńska. On 8 February 1756, the Marquise de Pompadour was named as the thirteenth lady-in-waiting to the queen, a position considered the most prestigious at the court, which accorded her with honors.

Pompadour was a major patron of architecture and decorative arts, especially porcelain. She was a patron of the philosophes of the Enlightenment, including Voltaire.

Hostile critics at the time generally tarred her as a malevolent political influence, but historians are more favorable, emphasizing her successes as a patron of the arts and a champion of French pride. Modern historians suggest that the critics of Pompadour were driven by fears over the overturning of the existing hierarchies that Pompadour's power and influence represented, as a woman who was not born into the aristocracy.

She was the daughter of the marquis Louis de Mailly (1696-1767) and the lady-in-waiting Anne Françoise Elisabeth Arbaleste de Melun and married in 1750 to the duke Charles Georges René du Cambout de Coislin (d. 1771), but they separated early on and she moved back with her parents.

In 1755, Louis François, Prince of Conti launched her as his candidate to replace Madame de Pompadour as official mistress of the king. She was the first serious candidate to be put up against Madame de Pompadour since Charlotte Rosalie de Choiseul-Beaupré, and she was also to be the last. She did succeed to be the secret lover of the king, which attracted some attention at court. She became known as l'altière Vasthi. Ultimately, however, the plot failed, and she was ousted from court by Madame de Pompadour. After this, there was no more serious rival to replace Madame de Pompadour, and the king mainly settled with his unofficial lovers at the Parc-aux-Cerfs.

Marie Anne de Coislin had affairs with the Prince de Conti and the count de Coigny, and was claimed to have had affairs with Christian VI of Denmark, Gustav III of Sweden and Peter III of Russia. It is unknown if these rumours where true, but Christian VI and Gustav III did visit her during their visits to Paris, which attracted attention at the time.

She did not leave France during the French Revolution, but lived as a servant in Rouen, Brittany and Vendée during the Reign of Terror. After the fall of Robespierre, she resumed her former life and property. She remarried in 1793 to Louis-Marie duc de Mailly (d. 1795).

Her father was an employee of the king's kitchen staff, with the title 'Contrôleur de la Bouche du Roi et chef du gobelet de Mme la Dauphine'. Marie Thérèse Françoise Boisselet was described as a beauty, and she agreed to become the lover of the king. The affair was not an official one; she was recruited to be a petite maîtresse (unofficial mistress) of the king in Parc-aux-Cerfs. She had one child with the king, Charles Louis Cadet de Gassicourt (1769–1821).

In 1771, she married the chemist Louis Claude Cadet de Gassicourt, who adopted her son. According to Paul Thiébault, Louis XV benefitted the career of Cadet de Gassicourt in the Royal Academy because of his marriage to his former lover.

She was born in Paris as the daughter of the tobacco merchant Jean-Baptiste Haynault and Catherine Coupris de La Salle. In 1759, she was recruited to be a petite maîtresse (unofficial mistress) of the king in Parc-aux-Cerfs by Dominique Guillaume Lebel.

She served as the king's lover with Lucie-Madeleine d'Estaing, who lived in the Parc-aux-Cerfs at the same time and alternated with her, one replacing the other in the king's bed during their pregnancies; Louise-Jeanne Tiercelin de La Colleterie was also housed there, while Anne Couppier de Romans had refused and was given her own house. She had two daughters with the king: Agnès-Louise de Montreuil (born 1760) and Anne-Louise de La Réale (born 1762), who were officially registered with two officers as fathers. Her daughters were both taken from her, raised in the convent school Chaillot, and given noble status, dowries and arranged marriages with noblemen as adults.

The king discontinued their relationship in 1762, and she was awarded a pension. In 1766, she married Blaise Arod, Marquis de Montmelas-Saint-Sorlin (d. 1815).

She left France during the French Revolution and lived abroad during the Reign of Terror. After the fall of Maximilien Robespierre, she returned to France, applied to be removed from the list of emigres and reclaimed her property.
